Valve assembly and mounting plate comprising a valvae assembly

Abstract

A valve assembly includes at least two fluid valves which are placed next to each other along a direction of alignment and each have a driving side and a fluid side. Each valve includes a fluid connection unit which extends along the direction of alignment over the fluid side of the fluid valves. The fluid connection unit is composed of at least two connection blocks each of which extends along the direction of alignment over the fluid valves and is provided with fluid connections. Each connection block is mechanically connected to the adjacent connection block and to the fluid valves, and the connection blocks are configured as injection-molded parts, and the mold parting plane of a connection blocks extends through the fluid connections of this connection block.

1 . A valve assembly, comprising:
 at least two fluid valves which are placed next to each other along a direction of alignment A and each have a driving side and a fluid side, and   a fluid connection unit which extends along the direction of alignment A over the fluid side of the fluid valves,   wherein the fluid connection unit is composed of at least two connection blocks each of which extends along the direction of alignment A over the fluid valves and is provided with fluid connections,   wherein each connection block is mechanically connected to the adjacent connection block and to the fluid valves, and   wherein the connection blocks is configured as injection-molded parts, and the mold parting plane F of a connection blocks extending through the fluid connections of this connection block.   
     
     
         2 . The valve assembly of  claim 1 , wherein one of the connection blocks is provided with hooks which engage in openings of the adjacent connection block. 
     
     
         3 . The valve assembly of  claim 2 , wherein the hooks are designed as snap hooks which engage elastically into an undercut of the adjacent connection block. 
     
     
         4 . The valve assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the connection blocks are provided with reciprocal stops. 
     
     
         5 . The valve assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the connection blocks are provided with complementary engagement formations, in particular at least one projecting web and/or at least one projection and/or at least one pin on one of the connection blocks and a complementary groove and/or a complementary recess on the adjacent connection block. 
     
     
         6 . The valve assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the connection blocks are connected to each other via stiffening elements in a direction transverse to the direction of alignment A. 
     
     
         7 . The valve assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the fluid connections are designed a connection fittings which extend away from the corresponding connection block. 
     
     
         8 . The valve assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the connection blocks are provided with valves seats on the side facing the fluid valves. 
     
     
         9 . The valve assembly of  claim 1 , wherein a screw opening extends transversely through one of the connection blocks and has a nut arranged at the end facing the adjacent connection block. 
     
     
         10 . A mounting plate comprising a valve assembly wherein a screw opening extends transversely through one of the connection blocks and has a nut arranged at the end facing the adjacent connection block, a fastening screw extending through the mounting plate and the screw opening into the nut.
